Pidggin:


Does that look like ordinary love to you? To me it seems more than that, like she sees him like her "Man" the truth is that he is not her man, she has a man(her husband) if she didn't, I would advise her to remarry.

No one says don't love your son, but some women take it too far, he is not your husband, he will get married and leave you

Pidggin:


She thinks she's married to him

ring7:
Some daughter in-law are mean now,once they get married name baba house den go visit..

JUSTbuchi:
Finally it did make front page


My aunt always gives praise to God that her mother in-law is no longer alive


Y'all disturbing ma mentions tho

NevetsIbot:
Op. I'm not even married yet, mum is already listing things she'd have my wife do for me..... I'm just looking at her

sweetcocoa:
You are the one with the problem here.

sweetcocoa:
You need to stop whatever you are on.

Pidggin:


Explain

Pidggin:


Lol she has a husband but see how she is leaning on her son as if he is her life support, when the boy gets married she will now be in competition with her daughter - in-law, then the guy wouldn't be able to chose. Most MILs have bad marriages, no love from a man, or maybe she's a widow or single mother who didn't remarry.

Women who lack intimacy in their lives end up being bad mother - in-laws who can never be pleased

Pidggin:


I hope you are not planning on substituting your son for a husband. As long as you don't do this you will not have problems letting go and your son won't have to chose between you and his wife because you will be busy taking care of your own husband.

josite:
It is simply because mother in law being female can see through your pretence and can further tell if u are a witch or tragedy personified. Wise men drop the idea if their mum says no. Bad wives should avoid highly spiritual mother in laws in their own interest.

@Bold:

The simple solution is to marry her son herself.

Benita27:
I am not sure of the bolded bold, because is not usually written on their forehead.

motherfucker:
Mothers are very protective of their son. You wouldn't understand until you have raised one for 27+ years and a lady comes in one day to take away what she has laboured for.

The mother would always feel no one can take care of her child like her. What most DIL should do is assure MIL that her son is in safe hands. It's that simple but most of you would rather compete with her or take her head on, which often backfire

ammyluv2002:
Are you married?

Benita27:
Wow!.
Your mum is the kind we are praying for.

Avalon316:


Not yet. Very soon.

Benita27:
I feel for women who marry only sons, so much is expected of them.
I don't want.

I hope she would understand

Avalon316:


Why not?. She should understand.

Mothers are precious. They can do anything for their kids. Isn't that enough to love them till the end of time?

Ugosample:


It is more of an African /SEA countries problem than say Europe/America IMO because The former are more particular about extended family stuff than say in Europe, where family members are more individualistic/mind their business.

This is my observation tho, because my cousins in Germany hardly get involved in each other's lives, and their mother is living with their dad (my uncle) in the countryside most of the time, and is not inclined to visit all the time, as opposed to Naija MIL that will always find opportunity to visit/breeze in/get involved in the son's life.

The more individualistic a society is, the less likely in laws (Not just mil) get involved/cause friction in the family.
hope you understand my point? ?

Jerryojozy:
What do u expect ? when daughter in laws will be asking the younger brother of her husband to do dishes . The mother in law won't be happy with this when she finds out. Therefore the aggression toward daughter in law. Mother tends to love their boys even when they are married but for the father , he doesn't care cos he feels you are man enough.

SycophanticGoat:


Hehehehe! I know the lady in that pic is you...

Hmmm.. What about women who turn out bad mothers (I mean women that threat their children like trash, simply because of one thing or the other-from experience tho), can lack of intimacy also result to that?

gabicon:
I think the reason for mother in-law n wife debacle is that men could be such babies and they sometimes make foolish decisions, a mother is always there to curtail these excesses but she doesn't trust that a young wife will do same. A mother is the centre of her son's world and she is afraid of being thrown out but they loose the insight that the world is big enough for two. Life has taught me that the more you let go the more control you can have.
